Walk into almost any of the 2,000 independent bookstores and you will pay full list price for hardcovers. You may save 10% if you become a paying "member."
It's basically only the online stores that discount; Amazon, B&N, BAM. Even the non-bestsellers in B&N are full price, again, unless you pay for membership.
